The South has been the land OF
enterprises, Of great pith and mo.
ment," rather than the nursery ol
scribblers. She has made history
for others to write and sell. She has
carved with the sword the pathway
of the pen and made America the
stronghold of the Anglo-Saxon race.
The first resolution declaring the
right of the colonies to be free and
independently" were introduced into a
Southern legislature by Southern
man. The first resolutions to the
same effect were presented in the
Colonial Congress by another South
ern man, and took form and consis-
tence, in the Declaration of Indepen-
dence, under the matchless genius Of
still another Southern man, A
Southern man led the patriot armies
to victory, and established the possi-
bilities of the proudest nation on
earth.
A Southern man was prime mover
of the convention that framed the
constitution. When the government
had been created its organic law was
still an unexplained, a ponderous
oar in unskilled hands. 1t was left
for the greatest legal mind of the age,
q Southern chief justice, to analyze
and stamp upon it the construction
which will be accepted as long as the
constitution is respected. A Southern
man framed the ordinance for the
organization and government of the
great Northwestern Territory, an in
strument second in Importance only
to the constitution of the United
States. A Southern man was the
author of the Republican theory of
popular government which prevailed
during the sixty years of our greatest
prosperity, peace and happiness. OF
the fifteen presidents of the conti-
mental congress, eight were from
slave States. From 1915 to 1879, a
period Of 64 years, embracing eleven
administrations, the slave States fur
nished eight Presidents whose terms
Of services covered 50 years. During
The same time the free States fur
hished three Presidents, whose COM
bined terms covered twelve years.
Oftwelve ce.Presidents four were
from slave States. Under these
eleven administrations the slave
States supplied fourteen secretaries
Of State, eleven Secretaries of War,
six Secretaries Of the Treasury, nine
Secretaries of the Navy and eight
Postmaster Generals. OF IS Presi-
dents pro TEN. of the Senate, 80 were
from the slave States. OF 81 Speakers
Of the House % were from the slave
States. Of5 Chief Justices two, and
the only two Of great eminence, were
from the slave States. OF 20 Associ.
ate Justices, II were from the slave
States. OF q Attorney Generals, IA
were from slave States. Vi ls5 Pub
lie Minister'S to foreign countries, SO

A Small Fire.

There came near being a serious fire
in this city last Sunday morning. At
1880 O'Clock E. Sample and J. ii. Posey
were taking matutinal stroll, when
they discovered smoke issuing from J.
S. Flemiug's drug store. They broke
in the front door, and were met with
an unbearable heat and smoke, the in
terror of the room appearing as an i'm
meEse furnace. They gave the alarm,
which was responded to by twenty-five
volunteers, all with buckets of water.
An examination located the fire in the
first waTeroOm, in the rear of the main
room, where the floor, shelving, and
counter were one mass of Goals. This
was soon extinguished though an hun
dred buckets of water were necessary
to do the work. An examination show
ed that the severe heat had CT acked
every glass in the front show-windOws,
bursted several bottles of explosives,
and blistered and ruined the paint on
the fixtures, while the dense smoke had
spoiled nearly everything in the room.
The loss will not be less than $1,000.
There is no explanation as to how the
fire originated, as none had been left in
the wareroOm, and that apartment had
not even been used lately. Adjoining
it, though divided by a brick wall. was
the second wareroom, which had in it
large stock of oils, paints, etc. For
tunately, this apartment was not reach
ed by the flames. Had there been any
draught in the room. it would have been
entirely destroyed; and, likely, the room
recently vacated by Goldsmith, and also
the pOstaffice and bookstore adjoining,
would have been burned out.

We are forming our opinion Of what
will be the leading styles in hats, bon
nets, and dresses. The new light shades
in straw hats will be seen more than
the black.
The stylish spring garment for young
ladies is the kangaroo Mantle. 1t is
well fitted to the back, aid rounded off
at the sleeves.
Hats viii be mostly trimmed in front
and on side; trimmings used are gauZe,
shaded plumes, tips and rich flowers.
Undermined hats will be quite popu-
lar this season for misses and young
ladies. They are trimmed in shaded
tips, and long streamers in back. If
you want to see all elegant line Of those
goods. give Moore & Merchant a call.
They are always glad to show you their
new goods. Remember the place.
Very light colors in dress goods are
going to be worn this :spring. If you
want an elegant black silk. leave your
order with Moore & Merchant for a jet
front, which is always seen ON elegant
black silks; and do not fail to step back
and see Miss Ruthven, as we can assure
you that she can put you up one of the
most elaborate and stylish costumes in
this section of the country.
Now, We call the attention of the la
dies to the fact that we will, on Friday
and Saturday. April LIST and I'd, give a
GRAND OPENING, which has never
been seen in Medicine Lodge. We also
extend cordial invitation to both la
dies and gentlemen. Come one, come
all, and give us a call.
Moore & Merchant say home should
not be seen without Domestic sewing
machine, which they offer to the public
on terms not beyond means. Organs
We also keep, and the music is very
sweet; a home is not complete without
a Cornish neat. 43
